H E L P !!
I always knew this disease of collecting gas & oil artifacts was something that you could never stop once you started!
What I didn't know was the infectious nature of the disease! She was tough, but the Warden is slowly falling victim to it too. It started innocently with proclaiming the garage as hers and hanging up a couple of small trinkets. One day my Kelly Tires sign disappeared from the shop and was hanging in her garage??? What the heck??
She told me it was because "Miss Lotta Miles" deserved a better place to reside! After that the number "55" with reflectors disappeared and reappeared in her garage.
Since then, she doesn't bother to steal it from my shop anymore--she rifles thru my truck every time I come home from a trip, and picks out a couple things for herself! LOL
I had Mick fix up my old neon clock with a Kelly Tires background and it didn't even get thru the shop door and it was gone!! Same with the STOP sign with reflectors from IG!
Its gotten to the point that I have to hide the hand drill or she will have something else taken down! I changed the lock combination on the shop tonight but I'm not sure that will stop her??
I've heard that in a divorce action that the woman usually gets a lot of the belongings! Well, I just hope she doesn't hear about that little trick after she can't get in the shop any longer!! H E L P !!!
Heres a picture of her garage wall with a LOT of room for stuff!

Lol!! Just keep the tape measure out of her hands so she can't measure the empty spots to find the perfect filler item from your stash.
Thanks

Kevin, If she moves the 50th Birthday poster up a bit I'm sure that recently acquired Texaco Marine Lubricants sign would fit nicely in that open spot; please share my post with the Warden. LOL

Better hope she doesn't start raiding the NAVL truck when it arrives.

Uh-Oh!! She just left for work as normal and I went out to the garage to get a Pepsi and saw this!! Now it wasn't screwed to the wall, so I think she's just messing with me, but I don't know how she got it out there without me seeing her????
I promptly put it back in the house where it will stay until I decide where it will be hung up. Guess I'd better hurry up or she might decide for me!!
